About:This cozy neighborhood eatery is a well-kept secret among the Austin dining elite. The chef lines up a delectable menu of fine Italian favorites that has kept the whole city talking. The service at Vespaio is pleasant and the prices are reasonable. The wine selection is extraordinary with 30 wines by the glass from which to choose. Dessert options average USD8 in price, but are well worth the indulgence. The wait for a table has become legendary, but the food more than makes up for it.

    This Restauarnt SUCKS!!!!!! There is no ambiance, no romance, no decent food - a total waste of money - bitter salad, wine was awful, the kebobs had three pieces of meat and lots - repeat LOTS of soggy croutants. Do not waste your time or money here. You get better value out of a $1.00 can of Chef Boyardee raviollis. Anyone looking for value for money and good food - do not waste your time looking here.

    Moron. You are banned from here! Do you understand! We will not serve you. You were intoxicated, loud, obnoxious, and smelled like fecal matter. Our patrons were disgusted when you puked in the lobby. You need to be in rehab. Get a life you fat pig!

    Really THE best restaurant in Austin... The quality of the food (most of it organic and fresh), the quality of the meals (not 15 flavors mixt together to try to be Cool and ), the service, the selection of the wine list ( finaly a list which match the menu). If one negative point to the place is the noise. They should work on hadding more fabrics or painting to try to absorbe the noise. But you should run to Vespaio.

    AWESOME FOOD!!! Make sure you arrive really early though. My boyfriend and I got there at 7:30 and we didnt sit down till a little after 9:30!! It was great food and service. Alittle expensive so bring the cash! Try this place out!! The margarita pizza is the best and any of the fresh pastas!! Worth the wait!
